LLCHD encourages vaccinations for children before school starts – Lincoln, Nebraska
Issued on July 19, 2024
While there are still a few weeks of summer left, the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) encourages families to make sure their children are up to date on routine vaccinations before school starts.
“Vaccinations help keep children healthy, ready for school and ready to learn,” said Deputy Health Director Kelly Curnen. “Wellness exams and school or sports physicals are a great time to check with your health care provider about any vaccines your child may need.”
Vaccinations help protect children against many childhood diseases, including chickenpox, influenza, measles, mumps, polio, and whooping cough.
Required and recommended vaccines for children and adolescents include the following:
Beginner – State law requires that students entering kindergarten or first grade (depending on the school district's enrollment grade) and transfer students have proof of the following vaccinations:
-
Hepatitis B vaccine (3 doses)
-
Three doses of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTaP) vaccine
-
Three doses of polio vaccine (IPV)
-
Two doses of measles, rubella, and mumps vaccine (MMR)
-
Two doses of chickenpox vaccine
Junior and Senior High Schools – Adolescents and transfer students entering 7th grade should receive all of the vaccinations listed above, plus a Tdap booster shot for pertussis. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends one dose of the meningococcal vaccine at age 11 or 12 and two doses of the human papillomavirus vaccine, which protects against a variety of cancers. A second dose of the meningococcal vaccine is recommended at age 16.
College – The CDC recommends the meningococcal vaccine, especially for college freshmen who live in dorms and for students who may not have received their second dose by age 16. This vaccine helps prevent bacterial meningitis and other serious illnesses.
Childcare/Pre-kindergarten – Children enrolled in licensed child care facilities and school-based preschool programs must also keep their age-appropriate immunizations up to date.
The COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective for children. The CDC recommends that children 6 months of age and older be given the updated 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available this fall.
LLCHD participates in the Vaccines for Children program, which provides free or low-cost vaccines to eligible uninsured, underinsured, Native American and Medicaid-covered children. More information about the program is available online at health.lincoln.ne.gov or by calling 402-441-8065.
If a child's health care provider participates in the Nebraska Immunization Information System, parents can access their immunization records online. https://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/Immunization-Records.aspx.
